Chapter 18: Upheaval in the City
Shen Lian saw a sharp black line flash from his eyes, and he didn't have time to see Shu Ye's sword path clearly, and the sharp tip of the sword stabbed three inches into his throat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The danger of death crossed his mind in an instant.
He was shocked, knowing that it was too late to retreat, facing the direction from which the sword tip was coming, the whole person couldn't help but fall backwards, rolled on the ground, and escaped from the range of Shu Ye's long sword in embarrassment.
After losing Shen Lian's figure, the long sword that pierced directly in the air was still powerful, and with a 'snort', it pierced a peach tree with the thickness of a bowl next to it before it stopped with a humming sound.
Shen Lian stared at the power of Shu Ye's sword, and the cold sweat on his back couldn't help but drip down, and he was afraid for a while.
Shu Ye held the hilt of the sword in his hand, twisted it hard, and smashed the main trunk of the entire peach tree, and the blade of the sword condensed, and continued to kill Shen Lian.
Yan Lao looked at the cold killing intent in Shu Ye's eyes, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly used all his strength to shake the sky and shouted, "Shu Ye...... Stop......"
The thunderous sound resounded through the void, shaking Shu Ye's consciousness, Shu Ye's mind froze, and he suddenly shook, and instantly woke up from his swordsmanship immersion.
He looked around, held his long sword, looked blankly at the three people who were staring at him, and said in surprise, "You guys...... You guys...... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Xiao Ye, do you know what you did just now?" Shu Xueyi looked at her younger brother in shock, and was afraid for a while, "You almost killed Brother Shen with a sword." ”
Shu Ye was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember such a thing at all, looked at his sister suspiciously, and replied: "Sister, let's laugh, Brother Shen's strength is several times stronger than me, how can I be his opponent." ”
"Today is different. Shen Lian looked at Shu Ye, who had woken up, with a smile, and said, "Xiao Ye, don't you know that your strength has reached the fifth order of a warrior, and besides, your swordsmanship ...... Is...... It's really strong and a little perverted. ”
"Warrior Fifth Order?" Shu Ye was shocked, closed his eyes and felt it, and instantly shook his whole body, revealing a look of ecstasy.
Over the past year, he has absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the dry well in the backyard every day and night, and indeed unknowingly, he has advanced to the strength of the Fifth Order Enlightenment Realm of Warriors.
"Xiao Ye, your swordsmanship ......" Yan Lao asked with a shocked heart, "...... you This is...... Where did you learn it?"
He is a good hand with a sword, and at a glance you can see that Shu Ye's swordsmanship is profound and profound, and it is absolutely extraordinary.
Shu Ye smiled, his heart was extremely excited, and he hid the part of the Yuan Formation in the backyard, and told them about his encounter with the man in white and the other party's gift of swordsmanship.
"You say...... You said...... This swordsmanship was taught to you by your seniors!" Shen Lian and Yan Lao looked shocked, and looked at Shu Ye with envy, "Xiao Ye, it's really a great opportunity for you to get the guidance of your seniors." ”
The man in white has lived in the Shen Mansion for so many years, and he has never been pretentious to people who are close to the backyard, let alone instructing martial arts and teaching each other swordsmanship.
Shu Ye was able to get the favor and guidance of the other party, and his experience was really a miracle.
"Also...... It's not a personal teaching. Shu Ye replied with a deep groan, "Before leaving, the senior just handed me a sword book and let me comprehend it myself. ”
He remembered his experience of practicing Kunlun swordsmanship, and he couldn't help but feel very emotional.
He originally thought that Kunlun swordsmanship was really a bland basic martial art, but when he carefully scrutinized and pondered it repeatedly, he found that among the more than a thousand sparse and ordinary sword moves, there was a great mystery hidden.
Those seemingly unrelated, simple and ordinary sword moves actually have their established meanings.
They are like the numbers that make up the code, and only by mastering these sword moves, and then combining them according to a specific trajectory and way, can you find those hidden sword moves in the sword book.
Only by learning these hidden sword moves can you comprehend the sword meaning of 'Kunlun Swordsmanship' and step into the door of swordsmanship.
What 'Kunlun Swordsmanship' really refers to is only those sword moves that are hidden behind the basic sword technique.
"No wonder my seniors gave me five years to comprehend. Shu Ye sighed and said secretly, "If it weren't for my insistence on practicing one move and one style, I might have exhausted ten years of hard work, and it would be difficult to discover the mystery, but what is recorded in this sword book is only the first nine-style sword move of 'Kunlun Swordsmanship', which is a little regrettable." ”
"My predecessor once said that if I can thoroughly comprehend the swordsmanship in the sword book, let me go to Lingdu to meet a person named Ye Mengru. Shu Ye glanced up at the south lightly and said softly, "I don't know what the relationship between that person and his predecessors is." ”
"Good fellow, I haven't seen you for three days, and I really looked at it. Shen Lian laughed and patted Shu Ye on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts, "Your comprehension ability is so strong, no wonder you can be favored by your seniors, you really almost killed your brother with that move just now." ”
Shu Ye heard him say it in person, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What...... How could it be ......"
Even if he broke through the Enlightenment Realm, he only had the strength of a warrior fifth-order, and Shen Lian was indeed a warrior's seventh-order cultivator.
In the two-order battle, he almost killed Shen Lian, even with the bonus of Kunlun swordsmanship, Shu Ye couldn't believe it.
Shen Lian looked at the look of disbelief on his face, and laughed: "Not only do you not believe it, but even I can't believe it, but you did it, if today's battle is announced to the world, it is estimated that no martial artist in the world will believe it." ”
Shu Ye looked at the three of them in silence, still not believing the facts that Shen Lian said.
"Xiao Ye, I came to the other courtyard to find you today, in fact, I have something important to ask you. Shen Lian's face was full of solemnity, "It's just that I happened to bump into you to have an epiphany of swordsmanship, and your cultivation has become a great achievement." ”
Shu Ye's heart froze, thinking that he was talking about the question on the parchment scroll, so he couldn't help but respond, took out the parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Shen Lian, saying: "Actually, I solved this question half a year ago, but I haven't had time to tell Brother Shen." ”
"Solved?" Shen Lian took the parchment roll with some surprise and praised, "Xiao Ye, you are really a genius. ”
"But I can't send this question to the Lingdu for verification now, and I can't send you and Miss Shu out of the Exquisite City. Shen Lian took the parchment roll into his arms, and the solemn expression on his face did not lighten, "In the past year, a lot of things have happened in the Beiming Realm, and now, the situation in the Elite City is already in danger. ”
"How...... How...... What happened?"
Shu Ye had never seen Shen Lian show such a solemn expression, and he was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Yan Lao sighed, asked the three of them to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and briefly recounted what had happened in the entire Beiming realm in the past year.
It turned out that in the past year, the battle between the Ye clan and the Tengyun Legion has become more and more intense, and dozens of battles have been fought from the snowy area outside Sixiang Mountain to the inside of Sixiang Mountain, one step away from the defense line of Jingjue City.
The originally weak Ye clan, I don't know what kind of power they have helped, they are incredibly strong.
Under the condition that the Chu State continued to reinforce troops to join the battle, it was still able to force the Tengyun Legion to retreat and retreat to Sixiang Mountain.
Under the dual urging of the Tengyun Legion and the Imperial Capital Envoy, Mu Shangfeng, the city lord of the Elite City, had to further squeeze the towns and tribes in the Beiming Realm, collect refined iron, and refine ironclad weapons to support the front line;
This made the entire Elite City, and even the entire Beiming Realm, angry and resentful.
At the beginning, everyone was still forced by the suppression of the city lord's strength and did not dare to resist, but in the past few days, all this seems to have changed in a new way.
Recently, the lord of the city suddenly fell ill and did not see any outsiders; the imperial envoy disappeared suddenly; the major warrior battalions in the city were frequently mobilized, and it seemed that they were preparing for war......
Shen Lian, as a noble refining envoy in the city, should have the duty and obligation to visit the city lord, but he couldn't even enter the city lord's mansion these days, and the generals of the warrior battalion who were usually familiar with him suddenly disappeared.
Originally, he wanted Ming Ge to explore the city, but suddenly found that Ming Ge had been heavily monitored.
He realized that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but send spies to report the information in the city to the Tengyun Legion outside the city, but he sent three waves of people in a row, all of them were dead and no corpses, no one alive, and never returned......
Shen Lian felt that the situation was already very dangerous, so he came to the other courtyard today, and wanted to ask Shu Ye to go out of the city to deliver a letter for him, bring the news in the city to the Tengyun Legion, and ask him to send troops to stabilize the situation in the city.
He just didn't expect to meet Shu Ye's swordsmanship breakthrough and his strength increased greatly.
But this is better, the stronger Shu Ye's strength, the less worried he is about Shu Ye's danger, and the higher the success rate will be if he asks Shu Ye.
"Why didn't Brother Shen send Elder Yan. After hearing the reason for the matter, Shu Ye couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Old Yan's strength should be much stronger than mine." ”
"Yan Lao is the person next to me, as long as he appears, even if he can bring the letter to the Tengyun Legion, he will inevitably startle the snake. Shen Lian replied worriedly, "At that time, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to stabilize the situation in the city, but I will also force the other party to act in advance, burying the lives of the entire Ming Pavilion and the Shen Mansion." ”
"And you ......" Shen Lian looked at Shu Ye seriously, and said, "You haven't been out of the gate of Shen Mansion for a year, no one has seen you, when you first came to the Essence City, few people have seen you, relatively speaking, they won't think that you are my Shen Lian's person, and it is easier for you than Yan Lao to bring the letter to the Tengyun Legion unknowingly." ”
Shu Ye didn't expect that during the period of immersion in cultivation, the situation in the city would change so drastically, so he nodded and accepted this matter.
After all, he and his sister have received a favor from each other for a year, and they should repay each other's favors.
"Thank you, Saya. Shen Lian saw that Shu Ye responded without hesitation, and his heart was moved, and he said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will arrange for you to go out of the city." ”
Seeing Shu Ye Yingying looking at Shu Xueyi, he seemed to be a little worried, and hurriedly continued: "Miss Shu's safety is guaranteed by me and Yan Lao, as long as I, Shen Lian, are still alive, I will never let her hurt a single hair." ”
When Shu Ye heard his assurance, he couldn't help but worry about it.
He took a letter from Shen Lian's hand, asked for a token, and before dawn on the second day, he took the black sword and quietly went out of the city under his careful arrangement.
